Before the Elders Are Gone: TimTim Live Launches to Preserve Humanity’s Living Memory
AdMerk Corp Inc. unveils a global movement to record, digitize, and preserve the world’s oral traditions in one hundred eighty eight languages across one hundred ninety five countries. Creating the first Unwritten Archive of humanity’s voice.
Washington DC USA October 23 2025
Every fourteen days a language disappears. When it vanishes, centuries of memory, laughter, and wisdom vanish with it.
TimTim Live, the newest project by AdMerk Corp Inc., has one mission. To capture the voices of humanity before they fade, and to give every person on Earth the power to record the soul of their people.
Anyone Anywhere Can Record the Soul of Their People
Rooted in the Creole and West African call and response tradition Tim Tim Bwa chèch, the platform transforms storytelling into preservation.
From Haitian griots to Maori singers, from Navajo elders to Nigerian poets, TimTim Live invites the world to share its living heritage in every dialect on every continent.
Quote: “Not all stories are written in books,” said Pierre Richard Augustin, MPA, MBA, Founder and CEO of AdMerk Corp Inc. “Some are carried in the breath of elders. TimTim Live ensures those voices are never lost again. Anyone anywhere can record the soul of their people, and their story will live forever.”
Creators can upload short oral videos, folktales, and songs directly to the TimTim Live social platform with the hashtag #TimTimHeritage and tag @TimTim.Live.
Submissions will be curated, translated, and permanently preserved in the TimTim Global Oral Heritage Library. An open access digital archive for educators, historians, and future generations.
From Les Cayes Haiti to the World’s Memory
When Pierre Richard Augustin and a group of twelve investors faced setbacks in their efforts to renovate vacant homes in Baltimore City Maryland, he pivoted his company AdMerk Corp Inc. Transforming it into an enterprise that uses profit for purpose.
From that vision emerged AdMerk Corp’s Profit for Purpose System. An ecosystem where commerce funds culture.
| Enterprise | Purpose |
|---|---|
| AdMerk Corp Inc. | Drives revenue through executive staffing, insurance adjusting, and property inspection services |
| 888 Craft Beer | Builds community. Every pint of beer funds preservation |
| Oselo Help Corp 501c3 | Build affordable housing and fund space exploration |
| TimTim Live | Digitizes and preserves the oral heritage of humanity |
Quote: “Most companies chase profit,” said Augustin. “We use it to build affordable homes, fund space exploration, and preserve culture. This is entrepreneurship reimagined. Enterprise as a force for memory.”
Building the Unwritten Archive
The Unwritten Archive is TimTim Live’s legacy project. The world’s first digital library dedicated to oral traditions.
Every submission is cataloged by language family, region, and cultural context. Subtitled in multiple languages. Stored using international metadata standards Dublin Core, MARC21, and PBCore 2.1.
Through potential partnerships with UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme, the Library of Congress Digital Collections Division, WorldCat OCLC, Europeana, and the Digital Public Library of America, TimTim Live will work to ensure that every recorded story remains discoverable for centuries.
Examples
- English: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Rock a bye Baby
- French: Fais dodo Colas mon p’tit frère
- Spanish: Duérmete mi niño
- Swahili: Lala Salama
- Japanese: Edo no Komoriuta
Quote: “We are building the Library of Humanity’s Voice,” Augustin explained. “Fifty years from now a child in any nation will be able to listen to their ancestors and know where they came from.”
Join the Movement. The One Billion Voices Project
TimTim Live invites storytellers, teachers, and citizens everywhere to help preserve one billion stories by 2050.

The first one thousand Cultural Ambassadors will be listed as Founding Members of the archive. Their stories will be preserved in perpetuity as part of Earth’s collective memory.
From Story to Space. A Profit for Purpose Future
AdMerk Corp’s Profit for Purpose System extends beyond Earth. Surplus from TimTim Live and profit from 888 Craft Beer will help fund life support research at Purdue University and the development of a multipurpose suborbital spacecraft. Linking Earth’s oldest stories to humanity’s newest frontiers.
Quote: “From the taverns of Washington DC USA to the edges of space, our mission is one. To prove that progress and purpose can rise together,” said Augustin.
A Living Archive for Scholars and Future Generations
For historians, linguists, and archivists, TimTim Live represents a living field of study. A vast record of oral expression captured before extinction.
Each file is stored in archival grade formats under ISO 14721 OAIS digital preservation standards, helping ensure accessibility across time.
Quote: “This is more than technology,” said Augustin. “It is a declaration that no culture, no language, and no voice should ever disappear again.”
Because Stories Are the Soul of Progress
In the next decade billions of people will join the digital world for the first time. TimTim Live helps ensure that as the future is built the past is not forgotten. That we remember the songs, proverbs, and stories that made us human.
Quote: “This is not a startup,” Augustin concluded. “It is a 500 year mission. A cathedral of stories built by the people of Earth.”
